Chapter 689 Aren't two cents a penny?
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Liu Sanniang was so anxious that she wished she could grab a broom and separate the two crazy women.
But Yu Guixiang and Wang Zhaodi were both blinded by rage and wouldn't listen to Liu Sanniang's words. Now, all they could think about was how to kill each other.
If bystanders get involved, they're lucky if they don't get hurt, let alone try to break up the fight.
Liu San Niang's clothes were torn by the two men's fingernails. Fortunately, her winter clothes were thick, otherwise she would definitely have been left with scratch marks.
Even so, seeing her sleeve torn, Liu San Niang's anger soared to the top of her head.
Even she was scratched, so the women who had tried to break up the fight earlier dared not step forward.
Originally, the reason for breaking up the fight was out of consideration for Liu San Niang. There was no pay or anything to it, but if someone's clothes were torn or they were accidentally injured, who would they complain to?
Liu Sanniang looked around, and the women around her all took a step back in unison. When Fu Laoda received Liu Sanniang's gaze, he could only helplessly shrug.
It's no use looking at him; when women fight, it's not appropriate for a man like him to step in and break it up.
Liu San Niang had no other choice but to yell at the men next to her, "Fu Lao Er, Fu Da Jiang, why aren't you pulling them apart!"
Fu Dajiang still gave the village chief's wife some face, but this guy was biased. He blocked Wang Zhaodi's attack with his arm, but he didn't stop his own mother's Nine Yin White Bone Claw at all.
Wang Zhaodi was slapped several times in a row, her face burning with pain. The worst part was that Fu Dayong stopped her from fighting back, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet and started cursing at Fu Lao Er.
"Are you dead? Can't you stop them for me?"
Fu Lao Er was glared at by her, and he raised his hand but then lowered it again.
Was it because he didn't want to stop it? He was scared too!
"Stop hitting! All of you, stop!"
Seeing that the battle had eased, Liu Sanniang rushed over and separated the two.
"I'm telling you two, you're just wasting your time. With the time it takes you to fight, you could have collected half a bucket of fish."
Fighting in this freezing weather, isn't it cold? Doesn't it hurt?
"All you do is fight all day long. You're all old enough to be grandmothers, have you no shame?"
"She's shameless!"
Wang Zhaodi and Yu Guixiang pointed at each other and cursed angrily. In the end, Wang Zhaodi was so angry that she spat at Yu Guixiang.
"You took other people's money and then tried to steal their things. Is this how you bully people? I think you should be eating peanuts. Even landlords and rich people don't bully others like you!"
Your son Dazhi became an idiot as retribution!
"You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots!"
Liu Sanniang had a terrible headache. Only now did she realize how difficult it was for her husband to be the village chief.
"Stop arguing! If you keep arguing, I'll call the police. You can go argue in the jail!"
These words silenced both of them. It was just a matter of two cents. Liu San Niang could also see that Wang Zhaodi was still thinking about those two cents, so she advised Yu Guixiang to return the money to Wang Zhaodi.
If all else fails, she can pay, as long as those two just shut up.
Yu Guixiang had never been scolded like this before, but she wasn't stupid. If she didn't return the two cents now, and Wang Zhaodi kept arguing, what if it alerted the village chief and he found out that his son hadn't become an idiot? Wouldn't he then have to return all the money?
She could tell the difference between getting a two-cent refund and getting a full refund. Thinking of this, Yu Guixiang immediately took out two cents from her pocket and threw them on the ground.
"For the sake of the village chief, we'll return the money to you. Only a poor wretch like you would ever think about two cents. If you don't want to donate, you don't have to. Our family doesn't care about it!"
After saying that, she deliberately stomped on the two cents several times.
Fu Lao Er blushed with embarrassment at her words, but Wang Zhaodi didn't care and hurriedly picked up the money on the ground and put it in her pocket.
Two cents is still money, and that's exactly what her family needs most right now!
With the money back in her pocket, Wang Zhaodi no longer wanted to fight with Yu Guixiang, and immediately turned around and went to find the mullet as if nothing had happened.
Fu Dazhi, who was pretending to be a fool, watched Wang Zhaodi's departing figure with a gloomy expression, his eyes like those of a venomous snake.
What the hell? They're making such a fuss about getting their two cents back!
He accepting the money shows he thinks highly of them! If they take the money back, they'll have to bear the consequences.
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, everyone dispersed. Fu Ming, carrying his axe, had just turned around when he saw Fu Dazhi's gloomy and terrifying eyes.
He pulled Fu Wan along and gestured with his lips for her to look in that direction.
Fu Wan glanced at him and was immediately surprised. Wang Zhaodi was right; Fu Dazhi certainly didn't look like a fool.
They say the eyes are the mirror of the soul; what fool would have such murderous eyes?
The brother and sister knew perfectly well that the Fu family was about to suffer a terrible fate!
Picking up mullet is just a pastime; expecting to make a lot of money is unlikely, since they're cheap—Fu San only charges 15 cents a pound.
After enjoying their ice-breaking adventure, Fu and his companions, seeing that the buckets they had brought were full, discussed preparing to head back.
They hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and their stomachs were growling with hunger!
Carrying the mullet home, Ye Xiaocui noticed smoke coming from her chimney from afar.
"Hey, who's starting a fire?"
"Could it be Anning?"
Knowing that there were only two children at home besides Qin Anning, Fu Wan and the others quickened their pace and hurried home.
As soon as we entered, Wangcai wagged its tail and came to greet us.
Hearing the noise at the door, Qin Anning peeked out from the kitchen.
"You're back? Breakfast is ready soon."
Fu Wan was incredulous, and Fu Ming rushed to her, "An Ning, you...you made breakfast?"
"Yeah, making breakfast, what's so difficult about it?"
Seeing the nervous looks in Fu Ming and Fu Wan's eyes, Qin Anning took a half step back guiltily.
Unable to intervene, Fu Ming could only ask with concern, "Are you alright?"
They use a large stove at home, and starting a fire is an art. You have to first use leaves or pine branches to start a fire, then put in smaller pieces of firewood, and then add larger pieces of firewood.
It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult. If the air doesn't circulate, the food in the stove will only smoke without sparks, and that thick smoke is very choking.
When Fu Wan first learned to cook, she often choked on the food. Now, seeing the ash on Qin Anning's nose, she immediately knew what had happened.
After looking around and finding no burn marks on Qin Anning, Fu Ming was finally relieved.
"Hey, it's good that you're not hurt. From now on, I'll do the cooking at home, you just need to eat!"
"I can cook!"
"Okay, okay, you can do it. Now go brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll take care of the rest!"
Fu Ming gently pushed her out of the kitchen. Fu Wan looked at them gossipy, and Qin Anning felt a little embarrassed.
How come they found out as soon as they got back that she had been making a fuss all day, and where she had given herself away?
Ask Awan later, she'll definitely know!
Fu Wan knew what she was thinking at a glance, and without saying a word, she went to the kitchen and scooped some hot water from the small pot.
